Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 over ripe bananas
- 1 ½ cups almond milk
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat and mix dry ingredients. Preheat your oven to 375° F (190° C). In an 8×11 inch baking dish, combine the rolled oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
- Prepare wet ingredients and let flaxseed set. In a large mixing bowl, mash the over ripe bananas until smooth. Add the almond milk, creamy peanut butter, maple syrup, ground flaxseed, and vanilla extract. Stir well and allow the mixture to stand for 5 minutes to let the flaxseed absorb moisture and thicken the mixture.
- Combine wet and dry mixtures. Pour the wet ingredients over the oat mixture in the baking dish. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly, ensuring the oats are fully coated.
- Bake the oatmeal. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the mixture is set firmly in the center.
- Cool and serve. Remove the baked oatmeal from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Serve warm with optional toppings such as extra drizzled peanut butter and fresh banana slices for added flavor and texture.
Notes
- This recipe is dairy-free and can be made vegan by ensuring the maple syrup is pure and not processed with animal products.
- You can substitute almond milk with any plant-based milk of your choice or regular milk if no dietary restrictions.
- For added texture, consider adding chopped nuts or seeds before baking.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheated gently before serving.
- Ground flaxseed serves as an egg substitute and adds extra fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
